Introducing Resolution’s Lunch & Learn sessions, our bitesize training
To celebrate the Year of the Code, we have launched Lunch & Learn sessions, our bitesize training, putting elements of our Code of Practice front and centre.
We know that time is precious for our members and that we are more likely to retain information when it’s presented in small chunks.
Each session is designed to introduce fresh perspectives and drive lasting behaviour change.
These courses bring together small groups for a dynamic, innovative learning experience that’s guaranteed to stick.
